Winans began his career in 1968 in Bucks County, PA as a reporter for the local daily newspaper, living in the shadows of such legends as Pearl S. Buck, James A. Michener, and Dorothy Parker, neighbors who helped the area earn its nickname as the "genius belt." In the early 1980s, he covered the stock market for The Wall Street Journal, writing its popular “Heard on the Street” column. In 1986, his best-selling memoir, “Trading Secrets: Seduction and scandal at The Wall Street Journal,” was a critical success ("Winans writes like a dream." ), a Book-of-the-Month Club Selection, and was excerpted in Esquire magazine.
He lives in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. (215) 500-1989 This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
